PAX East 2014 - Will Turbine\LOTRO have an event

No chance, you only go to these events to show off new stuff.... LOTRO isnt getting anything new for the next 12 months other than some more bugs + lag. Indeed, the games is being run on such a shoestring I doubt they could even afford to send an intern!

But don't worry! I'm sure Infinite Crisis will be there, the game that was funded almost entirely from the LOTRO store... So nice to know a small piece of LOTRO will be there

Hopefully they have the player party again, it was fun last year and I got to meet some really nice people!

Would you believe I literally had this conversation about 20 minutes ago?

LOTRO will not have a booth, and we won't be having our usual party, but I'm looking to put together something for LOTRO fans to meet up and talk about the game. It will be more along the lines of what I've done in Orlando and Buffalo recently than our previous invitation only parties.

I'll be sure to keep everyone updated as we get things more locked down. I'm also looking at possibly doing something along the same lines fairly soon in Florida and/or possibly North Carolina. So if it all works out, we'll be looking at as many as 3 opportunities to get together with fellow players, in a lot more places than usual.

Come to NYC!

I went to the BostonPax party a few years ago,..it was a combo of lotro and DDO. It was right by Fenway.

Aw, this is sad but hopefully you can get something together, there certainly were a LOT of people last year! And talking to the devs was great!

Wow. How will I ever get my lotro hoodie? I bought pax tickets just for that...

Why is LOTRO not going to be represented at PAX this year? This seems odd to me. I still can't find a way to Boston anyway, and tickets are already sold out, but with it being in Turbine's back yard, why not have a booth?

Because Infinite Crisis, that's why. Can't steal the thunder.

As much as we all love LotRO (and I do... i really do, it's my only love-affair MMO ever because of the Tolkien IP), this game is on Turbine's back burner and will remain so. Most LotRO store profits probably are shunted to IC development now.

We didn't have one last year either. Nor at Pax Prime last year.

I'll be poking about and I'm trying to put together a LOTRO meet and greet like those I'm doing over the next couple of weeks in NC and FL. So keep an eye posted. Looking to do it somewhere smaller and closer to the BCEC this year. Hopefully in Boston proper and without the need to have people drive literally across town to the stick and Fenway.

It's a shame that all my favourite haunts are A) across the river and B) too small to hold this kind of event, even if it's going to be scaled down from previous years. I have no idea what's good in the convention center area, so I can't even begin to make suggestions.

In that case, what about The Kinsale? The closure of Government Center might make it slightly inconvenient to get to, but it's a pretty good pub that should have enough space for the event. There's probably a better option, but that's one of the first ones that came to mind.
